Ever feel like data is undervalued in your company?

Ever feel like data is undervalued in your company? 🤔

You're not alone.

Despite all the investments in #data technologies – data warehouses, data management, pipelines, you name it – many businesses still treat data and analytics teams like service desks. And data leaders? They're often left out of crucial business conversations. Sound familiar?

It’s frustrating, right?

Here’s the thing: data by itself doesn’t have any intrinsic value. The magic happens when we use it effectively. If we just build dashboards and fancy models, we’re missing the point.

It’s not about what we build. It’s about how we decide what to build and how we show the value of our work. 🪄

To be seen as true business partners, we need to change the conversation. Less about “data” and more about “business decisions.” Trust me, it makes a world of difference.

Here’s how you can start:
1️⃣Understand Business KPIs: Dive into the key performance indicators that matter to your business.
2️⃣Map Out Decisions: List out all the business decisions linked to those KPIs.
3️⃣Break It Down: Decompose these decisions into smaller, more easy-to-understand parts.
4️⃣Find Dependencies: Identify how these decisions are interconnected and what data inputs they need.
5️⃣Use Business Language: Talk in terms of business rules, decisions, and metrics.

By doing this, you’re not just talking data – you’re talking business. This shift will get you noticed and included in those top-level conversations. 🚀
